10 Unbelievably Creative Resumes to Inspire Your Own

If you’re reading this while sitting at your desk and wishing you were somewhere else, you’ll appreciate this blog post. We’ve gathered a stunning collection of creative resumes ranging from CVs on milk cartons to a video game CV you can actually play. So all you cubicle-drones out there, daydream no longer. Soak up the inspiration below and get cracking today on a resume that sums up the next-level creative mastermind you really are.

Interactive Designer Robby Leonardi’s job application must have gone straight to the top of the “Yes” pile when they saw his very own playable, pixel-perfect video game resume. Within, you control a mini arcade version of Robby as you navigate the sections of his CV. Makes a piece of paper look pretty lame, huh?

These days, it makes perfect sense for everyone to have a web-based version of their resume. But it’s twice as important if you’re a digital or UX designer. Vincent Tantardini’s magnificently minimalist online CV gets the job done in style.

We could make a joke here about how sifting through tonnes of resumes has got to be a headache, but we won’t. Instead, we’ll just point out how cool the pharmaceutical-inspired packaging of this CV looks.

When you’re trying to land a job at animation powerhouse Pixar Studios, the bar ain’t low. It makes sense then that creative artist Brian Moose stepped it up with this lovingly put together film canister Resume. It’s got all the details you might find in one of the movie studio’s own film creations and, like their movies, the execution is as tight as the idea.
